El-P - I'll Sleep When Y're Dead 2xLP

The future is now! After a five year hiatus since Fantastic Damage and four years in the making, EL-P, while always hard at work with everyone on his label, is now finished with his sophomore album and it was well worth the wait. Thickly layered production and exlposive build-ups, it is hard to believe that music this loud and in your face, is put together with such delicate time and patience. There is a sense of urgency felt in each song and in every lyric, as EL-P always takes things to the next level pushing the boundaries and honing his aggression on the current state of our dying world. This should be exactly where you pictured him 10 years after Funcrusher Plus, the music is innovative, inventive and imaginative. Featuring guest spots by Aesop Rock, Cage, The Mars Volta and Trent Reznor of NIN!!! One of the best albums of the year so far!
